We're having a few quick days in Seattle before starting a week long Alaska cruise this weekend. I managed to shoot a lot yesterday, a tiny bit this morning, and I'm probably done until the Alaska part of the trip. Seattle is near and dear to my heart, though, having lived here for many years, albeit many years ago. So here's a quick travelogue and a few street photos. I'll have a bunch after Alaska but probably won't get a chance to process or post them until after I'm back home the week after next...
A couple shots of the Market - they've all been done to death, but you can't not take 'em when you're here. Sort of like the cliche Brooklyn Bridge shot that everyone takes while in New York...

The view from the roof deck of the place we're staying...

About the only tiny part of Pioneer Square that's not under construction at the moment - if I swung slightly to the right, all you'd see is construction...

Seattle's oldest "tower" in the foreground - I worked there in the mid-80's and it STILL has human operated elevators. And it's tallest building in the background.

The Alaskan Way viaduct, which is in the process of being tunneled under and it will be leveled, totally opening up the waterfront to downtown.

A Spanish restaurant upstairs at the market. I've been having their signature salad here since about 1983 when I lived and worked all within a few blocks of this place. Still run by the same folks with basically the same menu. Prices are a bit higher now...

And, some street shots, which I won't be able to bore you with from Alaska I don't think...
